build errors in ESP-IDF

[Arnie$$ESP]

Hello,

I try to install the IDF now more than two weeks.

1. I have a Windows 7 PC. I try to work the commands in different folder. IDF command prompt work.

2. The IDF Installer make all right, but I get errors when I try to start the "hello_world" or all other projects with the command "idf.py build" or "idf.py menuconfig". Every time I get the same error.

Did anyone similar failure or know how I can solve it?

Hi Arnie,

this looks as though you cloned the esp-idf repository and missed the --recursive option.
To fix this, run the following command inside your esp-idf directory.

Code: Select all

git submodule update --init
